16 "'ILl\IETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, ACGUST 15, 1924 NO DANGER IN BEACH WATER Dr. Moore Declares Bathing Not Hazardous There is nothing wrong with the bathing beach water, according to Dr. E. E. Moore, of the Wilmette health department. The frequent rains and the strong winds have helped to keep the beach in a sanitary condition, and as long as the sand is raked and kept clean there is little danger of contamination. "Every year somebody spreads the rumor that the beach is unsapitary," Dr. Moore stated, "but in general, that is not true. I have been at the beach &e\·eral times this year and find nothing wrong there. The continuous change of the water makes it safe." Dr. Moore expressed the opinion that it is safer to stay in the water for a little time and then leave, than to roll about in the sand for several hours. If there is any cause to believe that any lake bathing beach is contaminated it is generally the re sult of an unsanitary shore filled with dead fish and other refuse, but that is not the case with the \Vilmette hcach, he said. A si milar statement was made hy Dr. Moore with regard to the Kcw Trier Town ship High School swimming tank. Fresh water is put into the tank every day and the tank is cleaned. The children take o;howers before going- into the swi mming pool. and everything is kept safe and clean.

Mmray, a graduate of the College of Liberal Art<. of Korthwco;tern university of the class of 1922. now holding ~ responsible position with the Internationa l Banking Corporation in Tokyo, Japan. in a recent letter to his sister, Mrs. Florence Murray Schmidt, says that apparently anti-American sentiment in Japan, engendered by the enactment oi the immigration law by Congress, is rapidly dying out. ~f r. Murrav was in the thick of the Imperial hotel riot where a number of }apanc~e rowdies entered the dining room and insulted a Jargc number of American men and women . "1 was sitting at a table in a central po ition and at this table were several Japanese," Mr. Murray wrote. "Suddenly one of the party at my table arose and started the riot. He seemed to be the ring-leader of the disturbances which threatened to be serious for a while. No American, so far as I could learn was injured and the disorder was quickly controlled by the police." The Northwestern alumnus added that following this display of bad temper various Japanese stores put up placards, "No Yankees Allowed" while many other printed bulletins condemning :'me rica ·s attitude were posted in promment places. In his last letter to hi s sister, just received, Mr. Murrav explained . that these bulletin-; and placards have dl'apeared and that the people t'emed to have forgottm the incident. Mr~ .
